Abstract One of the important research issues in wireless sensor networks
(WSNs) is the optimal layout designing for the deployment of sensor nodes. It
directly affects the quality of monitoring, cost, and detection capability of WSNs.
Layout optimization is an NP-hard combinatorial problem, which requires optimization of multiple competing objectives like cost, coverage, connectivity, lifetime,
load balancing, and energy consumption of sensor nodes. In the last decade, several meta-heuristic optimization techniques have been proposed to solve this problem, such as genetic algorithms (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO).
However, these approaches either provided computationally expensive solutions… More >
